First, I appreciate we can have a chance to discuss how to make EB back, since my previous thread was closed. There are a lot of users botting for fun, however, I believe the business model built for EB should based on the RMT market. Right now, the price for Standard-Exalted Orb is €0.72 ($0.81) and Perandus - Standard-Exalted Orb is €1.44 ($1.64) in a Chinese RMT market. As we all know, the cost for botting should include electric power, IP, computer hardware and the monthly payment for EB. Based on my experience, I can get 1 ~ 3 ex per day (10 hours) for one account. In conclusion, €15 is the highest price for the botter who want to make profit. However, since the Chinese version of POE is going to released soon, a dynamic price of the Chinese EB should make more profit for Bossland and most Chinese farmers will accept it definitely. Last but not least, if Bossland take serious consideration to make EB back, please update the EB now, which is another closed thread. You are losing users now!!!
30+ sessions atm, if proven to be worth, I`ll take another 30-50. Prices: 9.99 eur 1 session 19.99 eur 3 sessions 39.99 eur 5 sessions ALSO WANT: - at least 3 months sessions for all of my lifetime keys. - refund for each downtime (minor and major). - basic plugins ready to work with the core bot. - one month resigning time. If you can promise these, I`m gonna pay.
I know I am a very small player, i just do it just to make extra chaos/ex to fund better builds. I would probably pay $10-$15 a month for supported bot, however I doubt I would go on 12 months a year. I take breaks so would probably only be botting for 5/6 months on one license a yr. I bought the life time licence just as i knew I could take a break and come back not have to pay the fee. Having the monthly fee is a downside for me... however monthly fee is ok if that is what is needed to support the bot. No idea if this would be acceptable or allowed, or know if it would even be possible, but to have some more community programmers working on the bot.... if that's possible. Take a load off Push from doing 2 ppls work. POE updates so much the maintenance I would guess is crazy, which echos what I have been reading. Having them able to do updates for offsets or other small updates, and push working on large overhalls/updates or changes. (whole idea is prolly shit) I really hope all of the talk in these forums is true about people running large farms as the small people like me probably make up a small portion.
I'm really happy to see this from the bossland. As a Brazillian i don't know if i can afford monthly pay 15€ since it's quoted 1€ = R$ 4 (R$850 brazilian minimum wage), but I'll be happy to see this project alive again. Thank you for at least consider this.
Currently EB's dev work is too much for Pushedx and he needs help, but the current sales model cant cover the expenses/generate profits. The topic was made to discuss the willingness of EB's users to change from lifetime subs to a month, bi-monthly, wtv new kind of recurring subscription model they can work it out. They are asking for our feedback about the price and sales model. The other option is to complete shutdown the project.
The experience is based on 1 account. But I know someone botted on DB3 for 300 accounts and he was living on that. The price €15/month I suggested targets them. And they even accept the price €150/month if they can make profit, which happened at the beginning of the new game released, such as BnS.
Its pretty clear that everyone is willing to pay monthly so that the bot will be up again.And as i see it the avg ppl are willing to pay is 15$/month
its not only monthly payment plan that matters,final price is the most critical part of the whole case and ofc userbase
Yep,i understand that but peeps wont be willing to pay more than 15/20$ montly(i would pay even 30$,since 1 of my bots is making around 200$+/month,but thats only me).The good thing is all the big botters are willing to pay monthly as i see.
Hello, im ready to take 10/12 keys and my friends 10 too. Its 100% sure and its the beginning we have bought several rigs recently. I think a shop for extra plugins its a good idea to motivate community developpers.
Ah, well I know I would be fine with having the life time license cost more than currently, I would personally have no problem putting in another 40 euros for life time license, but again thats just a drop in the bucket. Not sure what others would prefer. I would prefer a low monthly cost, as I do not make any $$$ from bot, just help gear myself. I really hope some solution is found that makes bossland some $ while being affordable for the casual botter, not just hardcore farmers. Also I am unsure of the growth of the game, I would assume it is growing pretty quick. Which hopefully translates into higher bot count for you guys!
